Earlier this week Erivo played a two-show day (to which the press was invited) on May 21 after running the Brooklyn Half Marathon. She stopped the show at both performances with her delivery of the show’s emotional pinnacle “I’m Here.”

She earned a 2016 Tony Award nomination as Best Leading Actress in a Musical for her performance as Celie.

In a subsequent tweet to her fans, Erivo explained,

Thank you for all the well wishes, turns out I'm not superwoman at all, shutdown by sickness. I'm so sorry to not continue. I'll be back 😢
